Birds of DeadBiver Region, Me. F. H. O. 
79. Nyctale acadica, (Saw-whet Owl). In late 
autumn this little Owl is quite frequently ob- 
served by the crews at the logging camps. While 
I have enjoyed considerable acquaintance with 
this species in other portions of Maine, my record 
for this region is very brief but very satisfactory 
when viewed from a collector’s standpoint. On 
the morning of Jan. 7tli I went into the grain 
shed of the camp and there saw sitting closely 
together on a joist, three Owls of this species. 
They are now lying side by side in the same 
camphor scented drawer. From that date I made 
it a regular duty to pay a morning visit to the 
grain shed, hut save for a little band of Chicka- 
dees it remained tenantless.
